Hi there! Hope you have all been well. I have been busy creating all kinds of projects lately. Thought I would share one I just finished- my dgs frog quilt. It is a large crib quilt. Here's two pics-

This quilt is so bright and cheerful, I can't wait to giv it to my dgs. It certainly was fun to design and create. I am thinking of writing up the pattern, I have had quite a few requests for it. Well, I am off to finish another project, so thanks for stopping in! Hope you all stay warm and dry!

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas *Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses - 1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

About Me

Hi there! I love creating things, be it scrapping projects, fabric projects, quilting projects, altered art, jewelrry making, stamping, cards, and crafts of many other venues. I love color and texture. I am an avid quilter, love to design my own patterns, and have sewn home décor as well as children and adult’s clothing and costumes. I have dabbled in many different mediums and crafts over the years. I have sold my work in a variety of retail establishments, as well as directly to the public. I have taught many different classes, and have been fortunate enough to be on several design teams.
I owned a porcelain doll business, as well as a laser steel artwork business. If I can figure out how to make it, I usually do. To me, creating and crafting is the best therapy in the world. I love gardening as well, I am married, volunteer regularly, have 2 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. My husband and I also like to travel.
